Amsterdam; The visit.

The last paper i sat for was a total nightmare; Fuel cell construction and application, with the kinematics of hybrid cars, such a load of crap. I studied my ass off for it, but still, i dont think i could do anything right at all. For what hell's worth, i'm just glad that it was finally over and that i could look foward to a few days of lazying around,...and ouh before i forget, looking foward to my well planned out trip to Holland!!!

It was only for 3 days and we only managed to step foot on Rotterdam and Amsterdam, but we really had fun. There were 4 of us altogether on that trip and we went there on a cruise!! how posh is that? Seriously, once i stepped inside the main deck, i really thought for a while that i was in a 5 star hotel, back in the early 20th century, hehehe. Felt like Jack going onboard of The Titanic.

Rotterdam is nice place with really intriguing architechture, while Amsterdam, yeah, aside from those lame tulip gardens and museums, it's a place of unrestricted liberation of human rights, or should i say "human desire"? with drugs and sex combining together as one, its a surprise how the local authority could manage to keep the city intact, as one of the most civilized and lowest crime rate in Holland (am i right? i dont know read it from sumwhere) and they claimed that amsterdam has the lowest rate of hard-drug addicts needing rehabilitation.

It really makes me wonder. But then again, i still believe that one day places like Amsterdam will definitely fall into crumbs, it's just a matter of time. I also wondered, how Amsterdam ended up like how it is right now, with all the protitutions, drugs and homosexual activities. It turns out that Amsterdam used to be one of the main Port and camps for Soldiers during the World Wars, especially the Navy.

So for those navy who just came back from months onboard a battleship, and survived the battle or whatever, would need to fullfill their sexual needs, and hence, prostitution had became a very big business ever since. To me, i think its more than just fullfilling their sexual needs and drugs and everything, its more of how they celebrate life. I mean they just came back from some really fierce battle and most of them had had near death experience or whatever. So they had to celebrate it.

If u ask me, the more appropriate way of celebrating is by returning to the true path of religion, and be thankful to god and to repent all your sins. I mean, even a 12 year old kid would know that. Ouh well, different ppl, has different ways of seeing things, but as for me, it was just nice to see the lifestyle over there, very open and liberated. Not much in a good way though.

Having said all this, i feel like a hypocritical moron, since i just graduated from "Cannabis College" in Amsterdam during my stay there. hehehe.
